Slowly, gracefully,
the Harpy descends into the dusk,
ready to claim the soul of her first victim.

Tonight, under the mantled moon the Nightflyers would attack, just as
they had done for generation untold; stealing the souls from any who lay in their path.

But this time would be different, very different. This time she would be waiting; the first of her
people to be born with the ability to spin the subtle moon-glow, to weave a spell without the
aid of sunlight.

Tonight she would stand as the first and only defense they had ever known. If she could hold
until dawn all would be safe. She was the first Moonweaver .

If you view full you might see the Nightflyers but be careful they're dangerous! ;)

The first City on an Asteroid.

In the year 2501 human space vessel Phursth under command of Earth federation captain Ungard No
came into radio contact with an alien civilization named the Tsriff located in the Alpha Omega cluster..

Initial communications with the Tsriff went well and soon captain No decided to go on a diplomatic visit in name of the people of Earth.

Things seemed to go well at first until at a certain point Ungard said; “..and we are happy and honoured to be the first people of…..” after which communications were suddenly terminated.

Unknowingly captain No had uttered the word “first” the sound of which in native Tsriff language meant an insult comparable to an:
“I p&^# on you and your family”
times 1000 in earth insults !!

The picture that is displayed was taken one second after captain No said the word, or Tsriff insult in this case.

Consequently this meant the start of a war between the two races causing billions of lives to perish and making this event the second most stupid reason ever to cause intergalactic war...
